between TeleHub Network Services Corporation, an Illinois corporation with
offices at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
("SUPPLIER"), and Global Telephone Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
with its principal place of business at 0 Xxxxxxx Xx. 0xx xxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX
00000 ("CUSTOMER").
1. SCOPE.
A. Telecommunications Services. Supplier is authorized to use its best
efforts (considering the needs of its other customers) to start provisioning of
the telecommunications services described in Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference, to the extent they are available ("SERVICES")
to Customer on or before April 18, 1998 (the "SERVICE COMMENCEMENT DATE"), so
that Customer may resell the Services to its customers ("END USERS").
B. Access Services. In conjunction with its provision of Services,
Supplier will obtain from incumbent local exchange carriers ("ILECs") and
competitive local exchange carriers ("CLECs") on Customer's behalf all
associated and necessary switched access services and special access services,
and may act on Customer's behalf to order other services, if requested.
Supplier shall pass through to Customer all associated ILEC and CLEC charges
for such services, and will be responsible for coordinating with said ILECs and
CLECs in connection with their provisioning and maintenance of switched and
special access services. Supplier shall promptly process requests to the
appropriate ILEC and CLEC to load Customer's carrier identification code
("CIC") at the central office level in all areas in which Carrier uses the
Services.

C. Call Records. Supplier will calculate and send to Customer Call Detail
Records ("CDR's") for Customer to rebill End Users for calls placed through
Supplier's network, based upon the specifications defined Exhibit B.
2. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES.
A. General Duties. The Customer shall use its best efforts to solicit
customers and resell the Services to End Users. Customer shall at all time
conduct its efforts in a commercially reasonable and ethical manner. Customer
shall provide its own billing and customer service to the End Users. To the
extent Customer makes any statements or representations to third parties
(including End Users) with regard to Supplier, the Services, or the terms of
this Agreement, such statements or representations shall be true and not
misleading.
B. End User Notification. Customer shall obtain prior to connection to
Supplier's network, a letter of agency ("LOA") from each End-User for each
telephone line ("ANI") in compliance with applicable Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") and state regulations. Customer shall be responsible for LEC
Primary Interexchange Carrier change charges ("PIC CHARGES") that may be imposed
on End Users as a result of End Users moving onto or off of the Supplier's
network. When applicable, Customer will be responsible for notifying each
End-User in writing (or by any other means approved by the FCC) that: (i) a
transfer charge will be reflected on such End-User's xxxx for effecting a change
in its primary interexchange carrier, (ii) the entity name under which such
End-User's interstate, intrastate and/or operator services will be billed (if
different from Customer), and (iii) the "primary" telephone number(s) to be used
for maintenance and questions concerning such End-User's long distance service
and/or billing. Customer agrees to send Supplier a copy of the documentation
Customer uses to satisfy the above requirements promptly upon request. Supplier
may change the foregoing requirements at any time in order to conform with
applicable FCC and state regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the
-2-
Initials: CSH GRC
------ ------
3
transfer of End Users to the Supplier's network conforms with applicable FCC
and state regulations, including, without limitation, the regulations
established by the FCC with respect to verification of orders for long distance
service generated by telemarketing.
C. Records. Customer will maintain documents and records ("RECORDS")
supporting Customer's re-sale of Service, including, but not limited to,
appropriate and valid LOAs from End Users, for a period of not less than twelve
(12) months or such other longer period as may be required by applicable law,
rule or regulation. Customer shall retain the signed LOA's and promptly make
originals available upon request of Supplier, any local exchange carrier ("LEC")
or any regulatory agency. In the event of a disputed transfer to the
Supplier's network, including, but not limited to those resulting from
Customer's inability or refusal to provide original End-User LOA's when
requested, Customer shall indemnify Supplier against any loss, damage or
liability arising from such disputed transfer, including, without limitation,
PIC Charges.
D. Volume Forecasts. Prior to the Service Commencement Date and by the end
of each calendar quarter thereafter, Customer shall provide Supplier with
forecasts covering a good faith estimate of the monthly traffic volume and
distribution for the ordered Services for the next three calendar months. The
forecasts are to be in the format attached hereto as Exhibit C.
3. EXCLUDED ANIs. Supplier has the right to reject any ANI supplied by Customer
for any of the following reasons: (i) Supplier is not authorized to provide or
does not provide long distance services in the particular jurisdiction in which
the ANI is located; (ii) a particular ANI submitted by Customer is not in
proper format; (iii) Customer is not certified to provide long distance
services in the jurisdiction in which the ANI is located; (iv) Customer is in
default of this Agreement; (v) Customer fails to cooperate with Supplier in
implementing reasonable verification processes determined by Supplier to be
necessary or appropriate in the conduct of business; or (vi)
-3-
Initials: CSH GRC
------ ------
4
any other circumstances that Supplier reasonably determines could adversely
affect Supplier's performance under this Agreement or Supplier's general
ability to transfer its other customers or other End Users to the Supplier's
network. In the event Supplier rejects an ANI, Supplier will notify Customer
within forty-eight (48) hours of its decision specifically describing the
rejected ANI and the reason(s) for rejecting that ANI. Supplier is under no
obligation to accept ANIs within the three-month period preceding the scheduled
expiration of the term hereof.
4. CHARGES AND PAYMENT. Charges for Service ("USAGE CHARGES") shall be based
on: (i) the rates for Services set forth in Exhibit D, as applicable; and (ii)
actual usage of Supplier's network from establishment of a connection between
the calling device and the called telephone number for termination. Supplier
shall not unreasonably discriminate against Customer with respect to Usage
Charges vis-a-vis other similarly situated customers. All Usage Charges shall
be due and payable by Customer to Supplier within thirty (30) days of the date
of invoice, without demand or set off by Customer; provided, however, that to
the extent Customer disputes a portion of an invoice because it has received
what it considers in good faith to be materially incorrect CDR's, the due date
for such disputed portion shall be delayed for up to fifteen (15) days,
provided Customer cooperates in good faith to resolve such dispute. Usage
Charges are billed and payable following the period in which actual usage has
been incurred. If any invoice is not paid when due: (i) a late charge shall
accrue equal to 1 -1/2% (or the maximum legal rate, if less) of the unpaid
balance per month; (ii) Supplier may suspend or terminate the Service; and
(iii) Supplier may require additional security deposits.
5. PERCENT -INTERSTATE USAGE. In the event Supplier provides any Services under
this Agreement, the provision of which, or the rate chargeable for which, is
dependent on the percentage of traffic of Customer utilizing such service that
is intrastate or interstate, Supplier shall be entitled to determine the
percentage of interstate (including international) and intrastate minutes of
use relative to the
-4-
Initials: CSH GRC
------ ------
5
minutes of traffic utilizing such service ("PIU") to the extent Supplier can
make such a determination from the call detail information. To the extent
Supplier cannot make such a determination, such as for Dedicated Service on
which Supplier does not know the call origination point, Customer shall
determine the PIU utilizing such service and shall provide Supplier with a
written certification ("PIU CERTIFICATION") of such percentage. PIU
Certifications may be modified from time to time by Customer, and are subject
to recertification upon the request of Supplier, which requests shall not be
made unilaterally by Supplier more than once each calendar quarter. Any such
modification(s) of PIU Certification(s) shall be effective as of the first day
of any calendar month following reasonable notice from Customer. Supplier will
provide Customer written notice of Customer's failure to provide requested PIU
Certification, after which Customer will have 30 days to provide said
certification to Supplier. In the event Customer fails to provide a requested
PIU Certification as to any Services, the rates chargeable for which are
dependent on the PIU, the relevant minutes of use will be deemed to be subject
to the higher of the interstate or intrastate rates for the Service. Supplier
is authorized to (i) rely on Customer's PIU Certification in its own PIU
filings and (ii) file Customer's PIU certification with any governmental
authority, any third party carrier it uses or any ILEC or CLEC. In the event
any governmental authority requires an audit of Supplier's PIU Certifications
or its interstate and intrastate minutes of traffic, Customer agrees to
cooperate in such audit at its expense and make its call detail records,
billing systems and other necessary information reasonably available to
Supplier solely for purposes of verifying Customer's interstate and intrastate
minutes of use. Customer agrees to indemnify Supplier for any liability or
costs (including, without limitation, any back-billing or penalties and legal
fees and expenses) Supplier incurs in the event the percentages in any PIU
Certification provided by Customer are different than those determined by any
such audit.
6. SECURITY DEPOSITS.
-5-

A. Amount. Subject to paragraph D of this Section 6, Customer shall furnish
Supplier simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement a security deposit
equal to the aggregate amount that Supplier estimates, in its sole discretion,
would be due hereunder for Services during one month (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT").
The Security Deposit shall be (i) cash in U.S. dollars in such amount to be held
by Supplier during the term of the Agreement, or (ii) an unconditional
irrevocable letter of credit for such amount, naming Supplier as the sole
beneficiary, issued in a form and by a bank reasonably acceptable to Supplier
and to remain outstanding at all times during the term of the Agreement, or
(iii) such other instrument or device as mutually agreed to by the parties.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Security Deposit is not a prepayment
to be applied against the future provision of Service and the entire Security
Deposit amount, subject to paragraphs B and D of this Section 6, is to remain
outstanding at all times during the term of this Agreement.
B. Adjustment. The adequacy of the Security Deposit will be reviewed by
Supplier on a quarterly basis and, in the event that Customer's actual
aggregate monthly charges for Service exceeds the amount of the Security
Deposit, as determined by Supplier in its sole discretion, Customer shall,
within five days of receiving written notice from Supplier, provide additional
cash or increase the stated amount of the letter of credit in an amount equal
to the difference between such charges and the then-existing Security Deposit.
C. Use and Replenishment. The Security Deposit shall not bear interest and
Customer shall bear all costs related to the issuance of the letter of credit
described above. Supplier shall have no obligation to return any portion of the
Security Deposit unless and until Customer has paid all amounts due to Supplier
hereunder or otherwise. Supplier shall have the right to apply all or part of
the Security Deposit to any amount that has become due hereunder and not
received by Supplier as set forth herein. Upon application of any part of the
Security Deposit, Customer shall, within five days of receiving written notice
from Supplier,
-6-
Initials: CSH GRC
------ ------

replenish the part of the Security Deposit, so applied. Any application of all
or a part of the Security Deposit to any overdue amount does not constitute a
waiver of Supplier's right to terminate this Agreement under Section 15.
D. Waiver. Supplier, in its sole discretion, may waive its right to
require a Security Deposit as set forth in this Section 6 or may reduce the
required amount of the Security Deposit, subject to its right to later require
Customer to fully comply with the provisions of this Section 6, upon a review
of any financial statements of Customer that Supplier may request and upon its
determination, in the sole discretion of Supplier, that Customer's financial
circumstances do not require a Security Deposit. Customer represents that any
financial statements provided to Supplier shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and will be true and correct.
7. LOCKBOX AGREEMENT. Customer shall direct all of Customer's End-Users to
deposit any money owed by such End-User to Customer directly into a lockbox
account at the Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. (the "BANK") owned jointly by Customer
and the Supplier, and authorize the Supplier to make automatic clearinghouse
fund transfers from such lockbox accounts to the account of Supplier and
Customer according to the terms and conditions of a lockbox agreement in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Customer and Supplier. The Bank shall
provide both Customer and Supplier with all records and statements with respect
to the lockbox account each month. Supplier shall be entitled to receive from
the lockbox account 80% of the amount in the lockbox paid twice monthly (the
"SUPPLIER LOCKBOX PAYMENT") as payment for the Services and Customer shall be
entitled to receive from the lockbox account, 20% of the amount in the lockbox
(the "CUSTOMER LOCKBOX PAYMENT") subject to the terms and conditions herein.
Once a month (the "COMPARISON DATE"), Supplier shall compare the Supplier
Lockbox Payment with the amount then owed for the Services provided hereunder
and shall provide a copy of such comparison to Customer within seven (7) days
of the Comparison Date. In the event the Supplier Lockbox Payment satisfies
current invoices prior to the Comparison Date, the Customer Lockbox Payment
shall increase
-7-
Initials: CSH GRC
------ ------
8
to one hundred percent (100%) until such time as the next invoice is rendered.
In the event that the Supplier Lockbox Payment exceeds the amount owed to
Supplier during any month for the Services provided hereunder, Supplier shall
pay Customer the excess within ten (10) days of the Comparison Date. In the
event that the Supplier lockbox Payment is insufficient to cover the amount
owed to Supplier during any month for the Services provided hereunder, (the
aggregate amount by which the payments have been insufficient is referred to as
the "SHORTFALL") the Supplier Lockbox Payment shall increase to one hundred
percent (100%) of the amount deposited in the lockbox and Customer shall pay
Supplier any additional amount needed to cover any Shortfall. When Supplier has
received sufficient funds from the lockbox account to reduce the Shortfall to
zero, the Supplier Lockbox and Customer Lockbox Payment shall revert to the
percentages applicable on the date the Shortfall first occurred. Supplier shall
have the right to audit Customer's books and records, including, without
limitation, Customer's invoicing records to assure Customer its compliance
hereunder. Customer shall be responsible for all fees and expenses associated
with said lockbox agreement. A lockbox agreement and fee schedule will be
attached hereto prior to execution of this agreement as a separate document.
8. EXOGENOUS CHARGES.
A. Telecommunications Charges. In addition to the rates and charges listed
in Exhibit D, Customer shall pay to Supplier, on a direct pass-through basis;
(i) primary interexchange carrier change charges; and (ii) the primary
interexchange carrier charge ("PICC"). Customer shall also reimburse (without
markup) Supplier for amounts paid to payphone service providers for toll-free
and access code calls originated by Customer's End Users from payphones and,
with respect to toll-free numbers assigned to Customer's End Users, amounts
paid to the National Administrative Services Center. Customer shall also pay,
without markup, amounts paid by Supplier toward the universal service programs
established or imposed by the FCC or any state that are incurred directly on
account of the Service provided by Supplier to Customer.

B. Tax Exemption. Within ten (10) business days after the date hereof,
Customer shall furnish to Supplier, and keep current during the term of this
Agreement, valid and appropriate tax exemption certificates in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit E, for all applicable jurisdictions (federal, state
and local) in which it performs customer billing. Customer is responsible for
properly charging tax to its subscribers and for the proper and timely
reporting and payment of applicable taxes to the taxing authorities and shall
defend and indemnify Supplier from payment and reporting of all applicable
federal, state and local taxes, including, but not limited to, gross receipts
taxes, surcharges, franchise fees, occupational, excise and other taxes (and
penalties and interest thereon), relating to the Services. Such
indemnification, includes costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's
fees) incurred by Supplier in settling, defending or appealing any claims or
actions brought against it relating to said taxes. If Customer fails to provide
and maintain the required certificates, Supplier may charge Customer and
Customer shall pay such applicable taxes.
9. FRAUDULENT CALLS. Supplier shall promptly notify Customer of any notice it
receives from its own fraud detection systems or otherwise of any actual or
potential fraudulent usage of the Services provided to Customer's End Users.
Customer hereby authorizes Supplier to take any and all actions as may be
reasonably necessary to prevent or minimize toll fraud, including, but not
limited to, disabling numbers or authorization codes, and agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Supplier for any and all claims arising out of such actions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer shall not be responsible for
any charges incurred as a result of fraudulent usage of the Services of which
Supplier has or receives knowledge, but Customer will be responsible for all
other fraudulent calls.

force and effect for a period of one (1) year from the Service Commencement
Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms. This Agreement

will continue from year to year after the end of the one year term until either
party terminates this Agreement by giving the other 30 days written notice of
termination.

sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, Customer shall provide
Supplier with a consolidated balance sheet of Customer as of the end of such
quarter and consolidated statements of income and retained earnings for such
quarter and the fiscal year to date through such quarter, all in reasonable
detail and certified by Customer's chief financial officer as having been

time during the Term of this Agreement, and to require a cash deposit or other
security satisfactory to Supplier.
12. FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE. Customer shall immediately notify Supplier of any
problems or End-User complaints associated with the Service, including, but not
limited to, excess noise, echo or loss of service. The liability of Supplier
for damages for mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays, errors or defects
in transmission ("FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE") occurring in the furnishing of
Services is limited to not charging Customer for any Services that Supplier has
failed to provide. Interruption for system maintenance does not constitute a
Failure of Performance. In the event of a Failure of Performance, Supplier
shall use its reasonable efforts to correct such failure as soon as reasonably
practicable after Supplier is notified of such failure. In the event (i)
Supplier notifies Customer that Supplier cannot correct a Failure of
Performance; or (ii) Supplier fails to deliver Services meeting industry
standards of performance, which failure is not cured within five (5) days of
written notice thereof by Customer to Supplier, Supplier and Customer, each in
its sole discretion, shall have the right to cancel the affected service(s). In
the event all, or any portion of, the Services are terminated pursuant to this
paragraph, Customer shall remain liable for the Usage Charges for the affected

Services that were rendered prior to the effective date of termination.
